The reason I am writing about is that yesterday I took my mother, who is staying with me, for a little drive, and we ended up in Fjällbacka . As soon as we had parked the car and started walking around my mother expressed a desire to have a "fika" and we ended up doing just that on one of the piers.
The place was packed and Fjällbacka is not very big, so it was noticeable. We got a good spot for people watching though. I think some people there were famous judging by other people whispering and taking pictures with their phones, but not really famous for me, since I have not properly lived in Sweden for 30 years.
It might not be visible in this photo but most of the boats sailed under Norwegian flag or maybe some under German flag but not many Swedish boats. I don't really know the reason but I am guessing that the neighbouring countries might have stronger economies than Sweden maybe. Or maybe Swedish boat owners find Fjällbacka too crowded and know of other places hidden away.
The reason I was keen to see Fjällbacka was because I have read all the books written by Camilla Lackberg. They are murder stories based in Fjällbacka and now they are being made into films, called the Fjällbacka Murders (hum, where have I heard something similar?).
We have had a whole week of warm, sunny weather, I could almost contemplate having a dip, even though the water temperatures are not up to 20+C, if it wasn't for these little monsters.
It is time to go out and enjoy the sun while it lasts and I suggest you do the same, maybe with a suitable beverage in your hand or maybe with a "fika".
